Self-deprecation is worth its weight in smoldering phoenix-ashes and baby unicorn tears.
or; Happy Thanksgiving, all.

Happy Thanksgiving, JU. I hope you enjoy some time with your loved ones, eating food that you don't get to eat often enough . . .

I'm grateful for a lot of you. I'm grateful for your friendship, over the (almost) 2 years I've been posting on this site. You know who you are, but I'll shout out to a few (and don't be offended if you're not on the list, please)

First off, to BlueDev and Cedarbird. Two finer siblings you'd never find.

To those who used to post here, and with whom I keep in contact - or try, at least - Amanda, SHE, Islandgurl, Sally, we miss you.

To those who are still trucking around here: Whip (for your pith, that almost daily brings a wicked smile to my face),

Maso (for your poems, so full of vivid imagery), Roy (for your prose, so tightly constructed and well composed),

Nicky, Serenity, InBloom, and UDigIt (who've stuck with my boring blog through the years), Tex and lifehappens (for the great stories of family life and your courage with your husbands off fighting wars in the sandpit),

Dharma (for being a better friend than I think you realize - love you, K),

ModMan and Gid (for being crazy politicos that give me the jibblies sometimes - both when they're right and when they're very wrong),

our two new liberal bloggers - Artysim and joe-pro (you guys are needed here more than you realize).

For those of you I didn't mention - it's because I hate you. Just kidding. It's because I'm forgetful.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!

Perfect timing this post -as I check in to see what's goin' on in JU land before heading out to pick up about fifty trays to give to some fine folks who can't get out for Thanksgiving.

And yes, thanks for adding to my nearly endless list of things I'm thankful for -the fine, fun, good people I've met in this weird detatched world called the internet. May God (or Karma or Chance or even favorable statistics) bless you all.

It's just an average day up here, but I appreciate the sentiment.

You're hardly boring!

Braeden,

Thanks to you too for being a smart, funny and honest friend. I hope you have a wonderful, food-stuffed day and enjoy the holiday.

You're welcome, all. Thanks for being my 'net friends.

You made one crucial mistake in your post...

I'm ALWAYS right...lol!!!

I agree on artysim and joe-pro...I don't have to agree with someone's position to respect them, and those two are hard not to like!

Aw, I;m touched! Top billing and everything! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

To my 'B';

Thank YOU for being a good friend to me, too. You've done more for me than you realize, and I hope that this symbiotic relationship we appear to have started continues for some time yet.

I love you too, B. I hope that your Turkey Day went well; that you got to eat a lot in the company of the people who mean the most to you. If I'd have had my wish, you'd have been sitting at a table with me (and a couple of other J-Users), chowing down on some good food and having some wonderful conversation.

Maybe one year.....

Not only would your friends here agree with Nicky but even your 'enemies' would, too. They may call you many names, but boring wouldn't be one of them.

btw .. I love the last picture.

[Forewarned... I'm feeling bitchy...]

First, Happy thanksgiving to you as well, since I didn't get to return the sentiment on my Thanksgiving thread before I blasted it into the ether.


over the (almost) 2 years I've been posting on this site.


You've been here two years? I really gotta start paying more attention. I'm two or three weeks away from four years. (?!?!?!?!)


For those of you I didn't mention - it's because I hate you.


I'm beginning to wonder why I am so unmemorable. This began with something a friend and I were talking about (though I don't remember what started it -- wait, yes I do... and I don't feel like sharing it!). It's like no-one remembers me -- on the Internet OR in the real world. Every time there's some article mentioning a bunch of people... I never get mentioned. Every time there's some contest about "name your favorites" etc... I never get mentioned. I just wonder... what the $%^# do I gotta do? No, seriously, what the ^$&$ do I gotta do? What am I doing wrong? What is it with me?

Why do I bother?

At least she didn't tell you you were a month late!

I guess I'm a hated one.  Now I'm pouting.

You are such a dumplin head! Thx for the mention and that's because I can't seem to get you off my shoe, I swipe, there you are again!! Smooches!

Gives Gene some yes-we-know-you-and-love-you-stop-whining bitch slap on the head! Don't let me have to throw some mud on you!! Hmmm, you know what though, mud is good for your skin! hahaha...that's if Gene even bothers to come back to this thread!!
on Nov 29, 2007
Gene, Gene, Gene. You know I love you. I just don't see you often enough. I've missed you, man.

Loca and Serenity -- you two are in the side bar. You know you rate.

I LOVE YOU GUYS, AND YOU KNOW IT!
